I found this book at a thrift store. The cover drew me to it, but the summary made me want to buy it.
Aliens attack and kill a bunch of people, and then they bury them in the ground before leaving. Cities are wrecked, and now many of the dead (from the alien attacks) are digging their way out of the ground. Not everyone comes back to life. Those that do are somewhat like vampires. They sleep like the dead during the day, sunlight kills them, and they drink blood. Also they are virtually indestructible, and they have solid black eyes.
After several attacks, from not having blood to drink, a type of camp is set up on the Outer Banks. The changed people are still themselves, as far as their personalities go. They are now called Haunts.
Dillion is now a “hunter.” He brings Haunts to the Outer Banks. But now a rich guy wants Dillion to breakout his brilliant doctor daughter. He believes that she can find the cure.
I really enjoyed the sci-fi and human elements of this story. Then you add a realistic romance to it. Love it! What I wasn’t expecting was that this is book 1 of a series. I immediately ordered book 2.
